I know. You just read that title and thought, “This guy’s such a Grinch!” But I’m really not. I love Christmas. I might not get as into the holiday spirit as a lot of people do, but I certainly don’t sit around thinking of ways to ruin Christmas for everyone around me. There are just … Continue reading On the 11th Day of Blogmas…

It almost seems inevitable at this point in history. The ugly Christmas sweater is something that people are proud to own. People throw parties that put this article of clothing at the center of the gathering. People compete over who has the ugliest Christmas sweater. It’s a point of pride for someone to walk away … Continue reading On the 10th Day of Blogmas…

Yesterday's post may have come off a little harsh. I didn't mean for it to... I mean, if it did come off as harsh. I haven't heard any negative feedback from family. So that either means no one in my family has read yesterday's post or they've read it and no one cares what I … Continue reading On the 9th Day of Blogmas…

I may have shared this here before. And if I have, if you could just pretend like you're seeing it for the first time, that'd be great. Okay? Thanks. Several years back, I got it in my head that I could easily mimic the voices of most of the line-up of Muppets, including but certainly … Continue reading On the 7th Day of Blogmas…

Confession: My tree wasn't complete when I showed it off last week. It is complete now. I got a tree skirt and a ribbon to wrap around it. Also, if you're an eagle-eyed reader and can spot one of two new ornaments I placed on the tree, you get bonus points. Not sure what those … Continue reading On the 6th Day of Blogmas…

"People who buy things are suckers." - Ron Swanson Several years ago, I decided that it was stupid for me to purchase greeting cards anymore. It's not because I'm completely unsentimental and have no desire to send cards to the people I care about. No, it's because I can do just as good a job, … Continue reading On the 5th Day of Blogmas…

Remember how I did that Hallmark movie Mad Libs kind of thing yesterday? Well I got it in my head that this is a movie I wouldn't mind seeing. And I at least have a trailer going in my mind. I sort of know what the movie would be about and how things would go. … Continue reading On the 4th Day of Blogmas…

On the 3rd Day of Blogmas…

Right... I don't watch those Hallmark movies that are so popular with so many people. I don't get why they're popular in the first place. Is it the feel good aspect? The predictability of an unrealistic ending? Anyway... I don't watch those movies but I've seen enough examples to be able to mock them. No … Continue reading On the 3rd Day of Blogmas…

Did you know that yesterday was National Christmas Lights Day? Man... there's a day for all the things. Anyway, it's fitting that a friend from work shared an infographic with a helpful list of electrical safety tips for the home and office. I mean, sure it's fun to watch Clark Griswold hang 25,000 twinkling lights … Continue reading On the 2nd Day of Blogmas…
